Is there someone who can help me if I have trouble completing an application?

Of course. Go to Customer Service at the front of the store and ask for assistance.

Should I apply at every Publix store where I would be willing to work?

No, that's not necessary. When you apply at a Job Application Center, you're applying to work at any Publix, not just at that specific location. Our neighboring stores might review your application and call you if they are interested in interviewing you.

When I tried to apply at the Job Application Center in my store, I had problems and could not finish. Is the information I entered now on file?

No. Your information is not saved in our system until you press the "Submit My Application Now" button on the last screen of the application process. If you had difficulty with the equipment or application system, please ask for assistance from Customer Service at the front of your store.

If I see a new Publix being built, where do I go to apply to work there?

Our normal practice for hiring associates at a new location is to accept applications at several nearby Publix stores about 3 to 4 weeks before the new store opens. Signs are displayed in the windows of the new store and neighboring stores with instructions on how and where to apply. If there are no Publix stores near the one being built, a sign at the new store will provide instructions on how to apply. Occasionally, we may also hold job fairs; check the sign on the store for details or in the classified section of the local newspaper, where we sometimes announce them.

If I'm interested in a position in one of your stores, where do I send my résumé?

We do not process résumés for non-management store positions. All applications for our stores must be completed in person at the Job Application Center in the store of your choice.

Will I be called after submitting an application?

Only applicants who are chosen for interviews are called. Store managers wish they could call every applicant and thank him or her for considering Publix during a job search. However, the number of applications we receive makes that impossible. If you are called, please ask which Publix store is conducting the interview since all Publix stores can see your application.

How long is my application active?

For 30 days. If you don't hear anything within the first month after you apply, we encourage you to return to the store to update your application, which will make it active for another 30 days. This process will only take a few minutes.

Can I update my application at any time?

Yes. You don't need to wait 30 days to do so, and the process is easy. Your application is updated simply by re-entering your name and Social Security number exactly as you entered it originally. It is important that you use the provided username/password pamphlet in order to make the update process quick and easy. The single sheet, tear-off pamphlet can be found in one of the side pockets at the Job Application Center.
